  • Nonprofits realize cost savings through donation of affordable, shelf-stable meat products
  • Provides a model which can be presented to the SC Legislature to secure funding
  • Local meat processors benefit from subsidies provided for the processing of meat for use by SC Hunters for the Hungry
